Morning for russia for me in the world new center today im kevin 0 in with this hours update for you 1st off the e. U. In talks the now with an american pharmaceutical giant about trying to secure enough doses of an antiviral drug as license to treat covert 19 its because the u. S. Government earlier swooped in and bought up the entire Global Supply of rum there severe stockpiling 3 months worth leaving nothing left for anyone else that spark worldwide anger and alarm and it leaves countries vulnerable and in danger and lives to lets get latest on this live to our correspondent in paris shala do bensky morning charlotte was going on here then so so much for the share and share alike attitude not what is the u. S. Governments move signal to their european friends. Well the e. U. Another kind. Trees across the world have been left scrambling in the wake of this announcement that the u. S. Essentially brought up the entire world supply of this key antiviral drug in the fight against code 19 it means that they wont be able to get their hands on it because the u. S. Government has even bought up stocks that havent yet been manufactured thats how far ahead the u. S. Has to buy this particular drug the questions are being raised as to what will other countries do in the meantime particularly if the u. S. Keeps using its might and its money to be able to buy stocks of he drugs like this now of course the u. S. Is dealing with one of the Worlds Largest outbreaks of coke 19 around 2500000 confirmed cases and there are tens of thousands of new ones being discovered every day. President trump has struck an amazing deal to ensure americans have access to the 1st authorized therapeutic for college 19 to the extent possible one to ensure that any american patient who needs for him to severe can get it. Well the e. U. Is do you realize we know that some governments like the u. K. Government the German Government say theyve gotten nothing reserves of this drug for the next few months but the problem is does the u. S. Keep using its money to buy these drugs and if so what other countries do some are saying that this action by the u. S. Puts clinical supplies across the world at risk they say that it is an unfair move by the u. S. And will have a massive impact on those countries that really need to get hold of this drug was. We want to cooperate because the best come from the whole world is that we Work Together by attempting to compete i think we alternately undermine all of our strategies. Of course its not the 1st time that the u. S. Is pulled a stunt like this put america 1st which of course is one of trumps so. At the beginning of the covert 900. 00 pandemic there was a huge fear the description of the us hijacking facemasks basically having face masks that would be to be delivered to one country being rerouted to the u. S. Who supplies that and then move recently there was good the for 0 after it emerged that the us thought that it was going to have 1st dibs on any could be 19 vaccine that was created in the future that was going to be from a French Pharmaceutical Company the french government was furious about mad and stepped in and since then sanofi that company has backed down and said that they will be equal access to all the World Health Organization is also being expressing its concerns about this move by the u. S. Which is apparently poor around 500000 doses thats half a 1000000 doses it will clarify these reports. So that we have a distorted global market. Speaks really to the need for some principles of equity and of for Global Solidarity if were to to solve this collective problem because as long as a virus is circulating on one continent or in one country that has also just. Well trump is strong but he is likely to shrug off all of the criticisms that are being cut hated him from all these different sites he has himself been attacking they will tell you since this pandemic saying that they were supposed to react he said that theyre over influenced by china and as a result of that he actually announced back in may that the u. S. Would be pulling out its funding from the organization which is a huge blow considering how big the american book is it would go on to the World Health Organization but this decision she would buy up this antiviral drug. Its likely to play well into the hands of Trump Supporters and possibly even appease some of his critics who also said donald trump hasnt dealt with this situation well he has not managed 90 pandemic what we do know though is given that we are just months away from a president ial election in november in the u. S. That every vote right now can count and that is exactly what donald trump maybe hoping for with this announcement is yanis so watch the rest the world by the looks of it show a different skin paris thank you the course of the world not out of the woods at all with all this so many countries know seeing clusters of new Coronavirus Infections in the United States who just talking about which is the worst affected country theres been an acceleration in 40 out of 50 states the w. H. O. Now the warning that some countries may have to reinstate those lockdowns a spokesperson for the agency talked to us about the balance of trying to get on with their lives versus staying healthy. But it tends outbreaks going on and in most continents of the world in the United States in latin america weve got a number of countries chasing enormous outbreaks but weve was very loud outbreaks in india in pakistan and also in africa or in south africa so all around the world we are every continent is faced with a large amount of virus and a very large threat i think theres sometimes people are thinking. That that side of the health of the economy the 2 go hand in hand you know what if youre not healthy if youre sick you cant you cant work so youve lost your financial means on the hour now and if you dont have a job you may become ill through lack of activity lack of money so weve got to do the 2 together but the key word is be safe we know what stops the social distancing the hand washing it sure enough to get your mouth nose or eyes these things work these things have worked in other countries. Other news this friday morning the venezuelan Government Spring stopped from getting access to its 1000000000 dollar gold reserves stored at the bank of england Britains High Court ruled on thursday that the u. K. Like several other nations recognizes president would duros longtime rival go as venezuelas interim leader so them for now the gold is said to stay in the bank of englands vaults until there are official links with the rival administration is one of the tussling for the 1000000000. 00 bullion president maduro says its urgently needed to fund venezuelas efforts to tackle Coronavirus Infections and pay for urgently needed food and medical supplies who i dont know though suspected only to prop up murderous government a string of legal battles between them involves around 5000000000. 00 in frozen government accounts abroad im going to put a story should know hopes that the british courts decision will prompt other countries to hand control of the money to his parallel central bank a lawyer representing Nicolas Maduro says they are going to appeal were. But it probably does suggest a decision by the United States britain trees to have as you jane it means of a question. As are any country has a right to interfere in the start of summer an interest. Or a country going to be but i sincerely hope that it will be a solution because looking to live in a practical matter if the goal of this sort. Of it was easier to go into it was the guy there is no evidence of the buner. Of assenting to go into all people and be medically. There but as you know people worse who are going to show up and going i understand now. Why dont proclaim themselves as well as interim president in january last year since then vote as well as been shaken by a massive Political Economic upheaval and enjoying a barrage of sanctions to imposed by the u. S. On the duros government and in the months since the several 1000000 venezuelans and fled the country economics professor jack rasmus suspects the United States hand in britains push against were doing here that. This is just the latest of that whole effort by the u. S. To squeeze venezuela get the u. K. To refuse to allow them to have access to their gold stock is there is there gold that you know is illegal what theyre doing but that doesnt stop the u. S. The u. S. Seized citgo venezuelas company in the u. S. Because it was earning dollars for it and gave the money by the way to greedo and the opposition in the u. K. Needs the u. S. If its leaving the you know the European Union it needs a trade deal with the u. S. And it doesnt want to aggravate the u. S. Central. Agreeing to allow venezuela to have its own gold so its doing the bidding of the u. S. Financial imperialism that the u. S. Exercises not just controlling currency and the dollar which is the global currency but the International Payment system which the u. S. Uses to see whos violating its sanctions and of course sanctions now more than ever these are just the tools of u. S. Global economic in germany. Israel suspend its planned an exaggeration of parts of the west bank it was proposed last year by Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu and police in january by Donald Trumps peace plan which recognize the jewish settlements as israel terror israeli territory infuriating the palestinians and drawing warning some abroad but the target date of july the 1st posture that any announcement of whats planned has all middle east correspondent paula slip. This is donald trump square in israel named after one of the biggest fans of Benjamin Netanyahu is west bank and expansion plans its also a landmark for demonstrations just a few days ago a group of vandals with paint in its water creating the image of blood and painted the words and makes a show will cost lives on the ground however the chorus of those against an extenuation is widening with your weapon declaring it as a beagle. An exception would put in jeopardy the progress that israel has made in improving relationships with the arab and muslim world i profoundly hope that annexation does not go ahead. Theres not just about the legal assessment of iraqs ation that we believe is contrary to International Law we still sticks a negotiating the 2 state solution we will check to unilateral border ships and we will not recognize them either. Or lets not pretend we do not know the plans we are doing they were thin possible so this does not happen diplomatically they are joined by thousands of protesters around the world to crying the annexation. Humanitarian organizations are also warning of dire consequences if you implement this eric sation course the 2 most d serious violation of International Law. Grievously harmed the prospect of a 2 state solution and that got the possibilities every new negotiations go on the israeli government. Its an exception class going against the worldwide condemnation tel aviv decided to simply ride out the storm by delaying the annexation. Book or anything and related to the battle against the coronavirus will wait for the days after the virus that behind the scene israel continues to map out the land grab it with its closest ally you have been. The greatest friend that israel has ever had in the white house. So time is ticking for both israel and its perilous to friends in the white house watch some faces mounting pressure and protests of his own ahead of the november elections parts of palestine and europe will watch on as rival candidate joe biden who is pro israel has spoken out against an extension for now the west bank holds its breath. For the days top stories come up for you after a break here on r. T. Including this one donald trump may want to u. S. Troops out of afghanistan but hes got a battle with congress on his hands the armed forces panel moving to keep soldiers there partly over claims that russia is paying bonuses to militants to kill american troops were across it when were back. I know team no crowd. No shots. Actually. No. Point ch your thirst for action. The young we want to spear and see they want to know where this is headed and then they may have the one night stand that theyre going to get rid of which they dont want rapidly and theyre putting themselves together theyre courting very slowly this pandemic is making them be even more careful it will continue to be careful and they may mean at least a decade amru a generation more solid partnerships. The future of an ancient monuments in turkey is the center of a political rather smalling over the president s desire to turn it into a mosque highest sophia in istanbul is pretty museum for almost a century but before that was an Orthodox Christian cathedral and a mosque for several centuries too its an imposing unesco World Heritage site the draw for thousands of tourists. So as it stands are decisions on hold for now but turkeys main administrative body is expected to make a decision on the building status in about 15 days you know asco says its illegal to change a Cultural Heritage monument status without their permission and theyre not the only ones concerned either the United States future changing the status of the ideas of fear is diminishing the legacy of this remarkable building and its unsurpassed ability to serve humanity as a much needed bridge between those of differing faith traditions and cultures there has to be a must not be allowed to be devastated with universal character and turned into a muslim place of worship where the tickets gallon and president are due on are attempting to do today revives and reignite sporadic on nationalist and religious sentiment a symbol of tolerance and diversity this place must remain open to all the potential conversion of pious of fear into a mosque which turned millions of christians across the world against islam. The turkish leaderships not have it all about being told what to do insisting its got the right to make decisions about its own buildings a president ial spokesperson says that turning the museum into a mosque would not damage is cultural meaning and would still welcome visitors is some of the reaction we got from people in turkey. As far as im concerned its best for it to stay in museum because there is a blue mosque 100 meters across the white its best for him to see the museum i hope it will be open soon and Almighty Allah will allow us to pray here as soon as possible but frankly i see it is a necessary tourism revenues are already all over the place because of covert tens of thousands of people come here every month to worship and by doing Something Like this creating an artificial agenda theres nothing logical is no right to me is trying to revive the ottoman empire. We can see that it was all the movements that hes making and within this framework good he would like to see also i presume a year sophia as has a mosque to go before the other door period and in this way he thinks that he will have Popular Support the question over yourself. Is not an issue between agree government and turkish because years of fear is something that belongs to humanity many turks also into a key believe it that it should remain a World Heritage and also as such as a museum it gives a lot so her Financial Support that there was a mayor of of vegetable came out in saying that we dont need another mosque he said that that we should that we should leave it as it is at least orderly or close to it. John is adamant he wants to break with maoist past for his own benefit. So all terms run into a hurdle of bringing american troops back from afghanistan and the Congress Armed Services committees put a block on the withdrawal now saying its going to limit the United States ability to maintain security in the region. This is about American Leadership we prevent terrorism we prevent a civil war in afghanistan and we also send a clear message of keeping our commitments this is an amendment is just basically its an attempt to tie our hands and limit our United States ability to respond to threats around the world we clearly need more oversight over what the president is doing in afghanistan the amendment targets the trumpet ministrations almost final decision to withdraw more than 4000 troops from afghanistan by this autumn according to 2 Administration Officials the move would reduce the number of troops to the lowest number since the very beginning of the war in afghanistan back in 2001 but any american exit depends on the u. S. Taliban Peace Process to america host ben swan and former Pentagon Security on his most discuss what it means for u. S. Soldiers in afghanistan and beyond. Were talking about 20000. 00 plus u. S. Soldiers who have been injured in combat there were talking about 2300. 00 u. S. Soldiers men and women who have died on the combat field of afghanistan and for what for the ability for the taliban to be as strong today as they were 18 years ago to have as much control of the country as they did 18 years ago having said all of that you just alluded to it i have to say its amazing to listen to lawmakers right now you have the chance to bring those soldiers home from a
